The Hill City Times, Graham County, Thursday, November 24, 1932
William Franklin STITES was born April 28, 1859, near the town of Farlinville,
Linn county, Kansas. He departed this life November 18, 1932, at the age of
seventy-three years, six months, and twenty days.
At the age of twenty-four years he was united in the holy bonds of matriomny to
Ida B. GRIFFITH. To this union were born four children: Charles, Earl, Clara and
Myrl. Of these children, Earl and Clara have passed to the Great Beyond.
In the year 1908 the family removed from Linn county to the southern party of
Graham county, Kansas.
In the years following the residence here in Graham county, Brother Frank Stites
endeared himself to all with whom he came in contact by the practice of
exemplification of the true Christian spirit as taught by the doctrines of the
Methodist Episcopal church, of which he had been a constant and active member
since the age of sixteen.
He was a man ready to serve his communit6y in any capacity for the common good
of all and his absence from midst will be felt by all who have enjoyed his
acquaintance.
Besides the immediate family, other relatives surviving are Wallace and John
STITES, of Linn County, Martin STITES and Mrs. John GRIFFITH, of Graham county.
Funeral services were conducted Sunday afternoon at Prairie Home church with
Rev. I.T. Allen officiating.
